Note. This does not cover the entire series. Certain people listed as alive cease to be so by the ending.

I like this book between the comics because after some issues it sure got a bit confusing around characters.
This book is great because it tells who's still alive and who died.
It actually shows how many characters appeared in the comics already which was a higher number than I expected.
Reading this guide gets a boring sometimes, so I read it in small parts in between the comics.

A great companion to The Walking Dead comic series. This book gives an overview of all the characters that appear in the first 84 issues. The information on each character includes whether they are alive or not, when they appeared, how they left (if applicable), and any contributions they made to the story.
Obviously, some characters will have more information presented than others because of how long they are around. One element that I really liked is the background images. They are white or black depending on whether a character is still alive or not. Very simple but informative just by looking at a page. This is an encyclopedia of the characters rather than a continuation of the story.
The information is good but repetitive at times. Some of the entries could have been combined. There are definitely spoilers so avoid reading this until you are past issue 84 or don't care about spoilers. The story in the comics is different from the TV show, but they are basically the same. There are different characters around at different parts of the story, so it isn't as good for those that only watch the show.

This book had so many issues. First, an introduction would have been a great addition. If nothing else, an idea of where in the comic series this fit would be helpful and a work from Kirkman would have been nice. Also, there were a TON of grammatical errors and typos and one page was crooked where part of the text couldn't be read. Definitely could have used better editing. I enjoyed being reminded of some characters but this could have been better done. This book serves as my Exceeded Expectations for my Herbology NEWTs (a book with illustrations)
